    Good Evening all,

    I am new to the forum, and new to gardening so forgive me if my question is ridiculous to those of you with a more in depth knowledge!

    I have a fair few old bulbs which have been in my garage over the winter - narcissi, grape hyacinth etc.

    Should I throw these away as the planting time is gone, plant them now anyway, or wait until the recommended planting time comes round again?

    Many thanks for any advice

    MD

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Don't throw them away. I would plant them now, you obviously won't get any flowers until next year. :dbgrtmb:

    PS: There are no ridiculous questions only ridiculous answers!

    Put them in some pots until you decide whether/where you want them.
